... what’s the difference (apart from the price and colours)?
Oh - there’s a second lock on the sun visor that restricts how far down it comes if you have a fucking big nose.
I gave up on a C4 purchase after hearing stories/reviews re microphone in the head surround so you had to use the comms unit with everything closed. It had a nice liner in it though, but ended up with a good c3 pro. Liking it a lot. Also found I could shake my head and the c4 flip part would then close down on you with just a shake/heavy nod.
1. Reverted back to more "round" shape (instead of oval) - so back to what people were happy with on the C1/2/3 range.
2. Changed the lining material to be "nicer" and "better" (cooler) in hot weather
3. Reverted to a "real" Pin-Lock instead of the C4 Schuberth "Pin-Lock-alike"
4. Changed the front vent design/operation, to be more robust (the mechanisms were breaking...)
Personally, there were too many things wrong with the C4 for me (included comms kit) and poor reviews, so I just bought a brand new C3 PRO (having had a C1, C3 and C3 in a row).
Having discussed that with Schuberth over email, they have alerted me to the new "C4 Basic", which is a new C4 PRO, minus the integrated comms kit, which would be perfect for my use (I still use an Autocom install). Assuming the C4 PRO reviews (there are not many, yet) sound good, I'll be happy to get a C4 Basic next to replace the C3 PRO, when it's time is up (or the C5/C5 PRO, if indeed that will be the thing next, when the time comes).
HTH!
Does anyone know if the sun visor is polarised? Are there any helmets that have a polarised drop-down sun visor?
The head shape has changed for the C4 Pro, it's gone back to being suitable for the same head shape as the C3/C3 Pro.
